Yorkwood
1990s ranch-style and Colonial Revival homes
Yorkwood has two main suburbs, Oak Forest and Irongate, with wide streets and spacious cul-de-sacs lined with sidewalks and neatly kept lawns. These communities were developed in the 1990s, making them slightly newer than many closer to the city. Most homes range from a three-bedroom ranch-style for $175,000 to a four-bedroom Colonial-inspired brick Craftsman for $260,000. Larger homes can climb as high as $600,000, such as a spacious five-bedroom Colonial Revival with a horseshoe driveway leading to a grand staircase entrance and tall arched windows.

Baker students can pursue their passions with hands-on experience in various Academies, including Engineering and Health Sciences.Publix and Walmart nearby
Yorkwood is primarily residential, but folks drive around the corner for big-box items at Walmart and check off their grocery list at Publix.

Commuters catch their morning buzz at Yellowhammer Coffee, a Mobile chain. For department and retail stores, residents drive 3 miles to the Shops on Schillinger, where they can browse the Aisles at Target, get project supplies at Home Depot, and add to their wardrobe at Ross.

West Mobile County Park
Many folks drive less than a mile for outdoor activities at West Mobile County Park. The park has multiple baseball and football fields where people can work on the game. Kids also come to the park for local rec league games.Mardi Gras and the New Year’s Moon Pie drop
“Everyone in Mobile goes All out for Mardi Gras; it’s a special time,” says Corley. “The whole city shuts down for the festival, and kids get let out of school.” Despite being synonymous with New Orleans, America’s first Mardi Gras celebration was in Mobile. The first two weeks of February are full of parades and parties leading up to the main festival. “The other unique Mobile event is the Moon Pie drop on New Year’s Eve,” says Corley. Everyone gathers downtown to watch a giant homemade Moon Pie get dropped to ring in the New Year.
Two miles south of Mobile Regional Airport
Residents only drive 2 miles to catch a flight at Mobile Regional Airport. For longer flights, folks drive 13 miles to Mobile International Airport.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
